Trial for swindIing.
CINCINNATI, December 13th,-In the trial
of Hopkins, of the Fidelity Bank, which
commenced to-day, Bruce, for the Govern
ment, stated that they expected to show
that Hopkins had at one time misappro-
priated SSO0,000 of the Fidelity Banks
funds and $4,000 at another time; that he
had drawn personal checks upon the bank
for large amounts when he had no funds to
draw upon, and that he had made false
entries in the books of the bank represent
ing millions of dollars used in the Wiltshire
wheat deal.
Bateman, for the defense, said they
would prove that the defendant was not
aware of what was being done in the bank,
and that he signed improper drafts when
handed him with others by Harper, not
knowing their nature.
Frank A. Armstrong, of Cincinnati, and
John P. Snodgrass, of Chicago, brokers,
testified to large deals in wheat made by
them for Hopkins. Hopkins told them the
deals were made on account of another, who
was "strong" financially. He did not
divulge his principals name.
